1967 Lincoln cent error

[dognose]

I have a number of bank bags which i have gotten or been given over the years. I was re-arraigning my collection recently and this cent fell out of one of the bags as I moved them.

The bag has likely been in the storage for at least 15 years.

A capped die strike (III-B-10) definition - a coin struck on a planchet which sticks to the upper or hammer die, and thru repeated strikes is pushed up around the edges of the die in the shape of a bottle cap.

Looks like a normal cent in a bezel to me as they don't appear to be attached on either side.

It is not, thanks for the view point

Unfortunately, not a cap die. Cap die coins, by nature of how they're produced, have the coin's complete design only on one side--the other side would not have a distinct design and that side's design is often almost unidentifiable as an image. They also are not as symmetric as your coin since the planchet isn't constrained as its stuck.

Agreed, and it looks like a brass bezel, not copper.

That was done post mint, for sure, and not a mint error coin.

Well crud, its not a bezel, not sure how its on there then.

It’s cool! Good find! I find lots of pennies. Never found one with a brass bezel around it. Wonder what it adorned?

 

[Sandog]

Well, it's an interesting find none the less. Could it have been part of a button?

I have to go along with the bezel, you can see the separation between the coin and the bezel on the reverse. I bet if you weigh it that it is overweight.

most "relatively normal" folks would not put a 1967 cent in a bezel. I wouldn't think.

Its bezeled... from a penny bracelet.

You'd be shocked, I've seen almost every imaginable date. It could have been a birth year, marriage year, who knows.
